Bison have won 15 consecutive away games, they hope to make it 16 on SaturdayFargo, ND (WDAY TV) - When NDSU leaves tomorrow for Terre Haute, Indiana, the team will say it's another business trip but the road has been anything but business for the Bison, they've had plenty of fun over the last two years.
By: Dom Izzo, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - When NDSU leaves tomorrow for Terre Haute, Indiana, the team will say it's another business trip but the road has been anything but business for the Bison, they've had plenty of fun over the last two years.
"After further review, the ruling on the field stands."
This is the last time the Bison football team lost a road game, December 2010 at Eastern Washington.
Since then, NDSU has racked up 15 consecutive victories away from Fargo, including two national championships and wins at Minnesota and Kansas State.
Craig Bohl/40-20 Road Record at NDSU: "Our guys have typically not gone on the road and not handled adversity or change; they've been a pretty mature football team."
This building has become one of the most dominant home fields in college football, the Bison faithful making enough noise to equal that of a jet engine, but ironically it seems NDSU has found better success when they've turned the lights out and left the confines of the Fargodome.
Brock Jensen/NDSU Sr. Quarterback: "I feel less pressure playing away than I do playing at home sometimes, some of our crowd's anxiety, sometimes I feel that, little bit too much."
Grant Olson/NDSU Sr. Linebacker: "I think it's different than other places, we genuinely enjoy being around each other and spending time together, we grow close as a team and happen to play well, I can't put my finger on what it is."
Marcus Williams/NDSU Sr. Cornerback: "Some people say they like the road games better, I know I do, you get to focus, and you're with the guys who you're going to go to war with the next day."
Jensen: "Not to take away anything away from playing at the Dome, we want to play every game here if we could but yeah it's a fun challenge of going on the road."
The longest road winning streak in division 1 doesn't belong to the Bison, but Oregon, the Ducks have won 18 in a row.

The European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations was launched in Spain on April 26th at an event held at the National Police Academy in Avila.
More than 400 people attended the ceremony, opened by the Secretary of State for Social Services, Health and Equality, Juan Manuel Moreno, who announced that throughout the year at least 28 events will be organized throughout Spain related to the themes of the European Year 2012. The objective of the programme of activities prepared by Spain, he said, is to "raise awareness among the citizens, but especially among seniors, in order to make them participate in and feel active members of our society".
Following an interactive debate between several experts in ageing and the audience, the winners of the intergenerational contest "Sharing experiences" received their awards. In the afternoon, the public enjoyed several musical and singing performances by seniors and had the opportunity to actively take part of regional dances and a tai-chi session.
The Minister of Health, Social Services and Equality, Ana Mato, accompanied by the Head of the EC Representation, Francisco Fonseca; the European Parliament deputy Andrés Naranjo, and high level authorities of the local and regional administrations closed the event. Before her intervention, the Minister received from the hands of the seniors associations the first draft of the "Statement of the Seniors".
Ana Mato emphasized the special value of this document, because it comes directly from the civil society. "It wasn't drafted by the government and subsequently passed on to the associations. The associations are the ones who are working in order to make it reality", she said.
She also ensured that the Ministry will take measures so all the reforms being adopted by the Government will not impact the wellbeing of the elderly, as society "has a priceless debt with this collective".
The video "You keep being the protagonist of your life", produced by the EC Representation in Spain and the European Parliament Office in Spain was presented during the event.
To see the whole video, please visit this webpage: http://www.envejecimientoactivo2012.es/imserso_01/envejecimiento_activo_2012/docu/mat_audio/instieuropeas/index.htm

Serves 12
Thanksgiving turkey doesn't get more classic (or simple) than this. This bird is seasoned with a generous salt rub, then sits in the fridge overnight.
In a medium bowl, mix the sage, zest, 1 oz. salt, and 1 Tbs. pepper.
Remove the tail, neck, heart, and gizzard from the turkey and reserve for making turkey broth. Discard the liver. Remove and discard the plastic timer and any metal or plastic leg holders. Rinse and pat the turkey dry.
Rub the spice mixture under the turkey's skin over the entire breast, legs, and thighs, as well as in the cavity and over the wings. Set on a platter or pan large enough to hold the turkey and refrigerate uncovered overnight.
Position a rack in the bottom of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, toss the carrots, celery, and onion with the oil. Put half of the vegetables in the center of a large flameproof roasting pan and put the rest in the turkey cavity. Tuck the wings behind the turkey's neck and tie the legs together with twine. Set a V-rack in the roasting pan over the vegetables. Put the turkey breast side down on the V-rack. Roast for 1 hour.
Remove the pan from the oven and baste the turkey back and sides with some of the pan drippings. With silicone oven mitts or two wads of paper towels, carefully turn the turkey breast side up and baste with more pan drippings. Continue to roast the turkey until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh registers 175°F, an additional 1 to 1-1/2 hours. During this phase, check the vegetables in the pan every 20 minutes or so: They should be brown, but if they or the drippings threaten to burn, add about 1/4 cup water—you may need to do this several times.
When the turkey is done, protect your hands with silicone oven mitts or wads of paper towels and tilt the turkey so the juices in the cavity run into the roasting pan. Transfer the turkey to a carving board and let it rest for 30 to 40 minutes. Carve when ready to serve.
While the turkey is resting, set the roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add the wine and cook, using a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula to loosen the brown bits, until reduced by about half, 2 to 3 minutes. Strain the contents of the roasting pan into a bowl, pressing on the solids to release the flavorful drippings. Discard the solids.
In a 1-quart liquid measuring cup, combine the broth with 1-1/2 cups water. Tasting as you go, add enough of the pan drippings to the broth to make a flavorful yet not overly salted liquid—you may or may not use all of the drippings. Let sit until the fat rises to the surface. Skim off and reserve as much fat as possible.
Measure 4 Tbs. of the fat into a medium saucepan (supplement with olive oil if necessary) over medium heat. Whisk in the flour. Cook, whisking almost constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in about 1/2 cup of the broth. As soon as the broth thickens, whisk in another 1/2 cup. Repeat until the mixture stays relatively smooth, at which point you can whisk in the remaining broth. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking frequently, for 5 to 10 minutes to develop the flavor. The gravy will be on the thin side; if you prefer it thicker, continue simmering until thickened to your liking, but expect the flavor to concentrate as well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour into a gravy boat and serve with the carved turkey.
Provençal Roast Turkey with Red Wine Gravy: For the dry rub, use 3 Tbs. herbes de Provence, 2 Tbs. finely grated orange zest, 4 tsp. fennel seeds (crushed), 1 oz. kosher salt, and 4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper. Substitute 1/3 cup dry red wine for the white wine or vermouth.

11/28/2013This recipe was a real hit for our thanksgiving dinner. Everyone raved and nearly the entire turkey was consumed at one sitting! So much for endless leftovers!
Only modifications made were to use a blend of fresh sage, rosemary and thyme instead of sage alone and the zest of one lemon instead of an orange.
The turkey was brined for 12 hours inside an oven roasting bag, then removed and placed in the roasting pan for about 30 minutes at room temp before going in the oven. They turkey was prepared as directed (with one exception, no v-shaped rack) breast side down at 400 degrees for one hour, flipped and roasted an additional hour and a half. The turkey was just shy of 12 lbs but it was PERFECT. The result was a beautiful, picture worthy thanksgiving turkey.
Easy prep, short cooking time, excellent result! This one is a keeper.
by Half_Baked,
11/26/2010When I read this recipe I was certain that I wanted to host a Thanksgiving dinner with this bird as the star performer. As it turns out, the event was held for 20 at my mother's ranch, out in the country ~ so the pressure to perform was very high. This recipe exceeded all expectations, and won RAVE reviews from everyone, some who are serious foodies. I added a little Thyme and Rosemary to the herb mix, along with about a teaspoon of lemon zest. I applied the rub about 24 hours before roasting, and because it looked a little dry when I pulled it out of the fridge I brushed a little olive oil over the bird before convection roasting for about 2.5 hours (16 lb. bird). Very little liquids in pan to baste with, so I added a little white wine during the last hour. The onions were completely carmelized, and the carrots roasted down to almost nothing ~ and oh, what a wonderful gravy those pan drippings made! The bird sat for a good hour while the last-minute (chaotic) preps took place, but when it came time to carve it was a beautiful thing. Super moist, wonderful flavor and not too salty.
by slave2thefur,
11/26/2010Made with free range turkey, substituted fresh tarragon for sage and made own unsalted stock for the gravy. Excellent flavor, and much easier than brining.
by SpeakeasyKitchen,
10/6/2010I did this last year at Canadian Thanksgiving. All 20 of my dinner guests said it was the best turkey they've had in their whole lives. This recipe is a keeper!
by TrishTO,
12/26/2009If your bird or gravy were too salty, you didn't follow the instructions: salt mixture goes UNDER the skin, except on the wings. Have made this a few times and the meat is succulent, the gravy is incredibly flavourful.
by angierock13,
11/30/2009The turkey turned out perfectly and I didn't find it too salty at all.! Instead of the orange zest i used lemon as i prefer the flavor. I also added some thyme to complement the sage. Everyone enjoyed it. It's one of the easiest turkey recipes i have tried, without much prep work.
by JoanT,
11/20/2009Yes, it was a little salty and too strong on the orange zest for my family.
by dieseltug,
11/20/2009I used this recipe with a turkey breast and it was very juicy and flavorful. You don't need to add salt to the gravy, but I did not find it to be too salty. Everyone raved so I am going to make it again for Thanksgiving.
by discobob,
11/8/2009The turkey and gravy turned out to be quite salty.
I used a coarse kosher salt but not either of the two brands mentioned in the recipe; therfore, to be on the safe side I used less than the minimum suggested as I didn't know how the crystal size compared to the recommended brands. I would not recommend this recipe.

Cellar/Tasting Notes Pale yellow. Subdued aromas of yellow peach and flowers, plus a suggestion of wild herbs. Suppler and more deeply pitched than the Champgains, offering lovely depth of fruit and an oily quality. But not yet as silky as the last wine. This wine has excellent potential but will need a couple..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Pale green-yellow. Subtle aromas of pear, peach, menthol and white flowers, with good limey lift; very Chassagne! Silky, bright and tactile, with refreshing flavors of citrus peel, white flowers and menthol lifted on the back by a stony element. This energetic premier cru really spreads out on..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2011 Laguiche bottling of Morgeot is absolutely beautiful this year, with great elegance and nascent complexity. This is simply a stunning wine, soaring from the glass in a blaze of apple, pear, orange zest, a touch of pastry cream, chalky minerality, apple blossoms, and a discreet base of..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is aromatically less refined but more complex with its expressive and rather pungent nose of hazelnut, green fruit, herbal, pear and just a hint of wood. There is excellent volume to the extract rich, powerful and solidly well-concentrated medium weight flavors that possess excellent..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is also markedly ripe though with a different fruit profile as here it is more white than yellow with its aromas of pear liqueur, acacia, lemon and a hint of tangerine. There is also excellent volume and solid mid-palate concentration to the rich, voluminous and palate coating flavors that..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is really quite aromatically similar to the Truffières except that, somewhat surprisingly, the nose is even more elegant. There is a striking combination of excellent volume but also beautiful detail to the concentrated, refined and ultra-pure medium-bodied flavors that don't quite have the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Corton-Charlemagne shows gorgeous balance and overall harmony. The overt, forward fruit is nicely buttressed by the wine's underlying minerality and crystalline purity. The 2009 is juicy and oily, but without being overwhelming. A clean, vibrant finish rounds things out nicely. It is..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Bold, direct and voluptuous. Nectarines, honey, flowers and spices all wrap around the palate in this big generous Charmes. A vein of minerality runs through the fruit, giving the wine its sense of energy and proportion. In 2010, the Charmes is especially rich, layered and unctuous." WA

If you've been downloading pirated music, movies and TV shows, Big Brother now is watching and you could find your Internet slowed down or temporarily blocked if you're caught doing it repeatedly.
Five large Internet providers — Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, Time Warner and Cablevision — teamed up with entertainment labels to create the Copyright Alert System, which launched in late February.
Subscribers of those Internet companies who are suspected of sharing copyrighted material illegally are being warned to knock it off. Entertainment industry representatives lurking on file-sharing networks are sniffing out the online scofflaws.
Many smaller Internet providers do the same thing on their own outside of that coalition. They include PenTeleData, which provides Internet service for Service Electric, Blue Ridge Communications and Ironton Telephone Co.

Critics say the Copyright Alert System starts with a presumption of guilt, is an invasion of privacy and was formed without any formal public input.
"It's basically a large system that caters more to the interests of the content industry than it does to good Internet policy," said Adi Kamdar, an activist with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit that advocates for digital rights and free speech.
About 5,000 people, including residents of Allentown, Macungie, Pen Argyl and Quakertown, have signed a petition on the White House website opposing the system.
Those are legitimate concerns. But producers of copyrighted material are right to be concerned about their work being pilfered, too.
The program is not expected to stop hardcore pirates who likely wouldn't heed warnings anyway. It's aimed at people who may not know what they're doing is illegal, or may not know it's happening on their Internet account.
The Copyright Alert System doesn't have a death penalty, as Internet providers cannot terminate service to repeat offenders. In that way, it differs from how some of smaller Internet providers operate. PenTeleData will suspend service for up to six months in extreme cases, chief administrative officer Jaime Mendes said.
"We try to be as flexible as we can," he said. "We always give the customers the benefit of the doubt."
The Copyright Alert System is run by the Center for Copyright Information, formed by the entertainment industry and Internet companies. The center says most people never will receive a notice. It says there is no invasion of privacy as the system does not monitor general Internet use and only looks at peer-to-peer networks, also known as P2P.
The networks — BitTorrent is a commonly known one — allow users to share files. Users download software to join the network, and any downloaded file on any computer in the network is available for download by other users.
Representatives of the entertainment labels identify the Internet Protocol addresses of computers making copyrighted files available for sharing. The Internet companies who provide service to those users are told about the violations, and in turn contact their subscribers. They don't tell the entertainment industry the names of the alleged violators.
The system applies only to residential Internet accounts. The Center for Copyright Information says the goal is to educate, not punish, which includes telling people where they can find the entertainment they want legally, such as through Netflix.
"A lot of people who engage in causal infringement sometimes don't know they're doing it affirmatively, or don't understand what aspects are illegal," said Jill Lesser, the center's director.
If you have an unsecured wireless network at home, strangers may be using your network. Or you may not know what other household members are doing. And if you're no longer actively using a peer-to-peer network, old files still could be grabbed by other users without your knowledge, Lesser said.
Each Internet provider participating in the Copyright Alert System handles violations slightly differently, but they generally have six steps escalating from warnings to interfering with your browser.
Verizon says customers who receive a fifth violation notice will have their Internet speed reduced to about dial-up speed for two days. If you get a sixth alert, your speed will be reduced for three days.
AT&T told me that after a fourth notice, subscribers will be temporarily redirected to a landing page where they must review educational material on copyrights before their browser is released.
Comcast customers who get a fifth or sixth warning will receive "a persistent in-browser alert" requiring you to call Comcast to have it removed.
Opponents say the process reverses the American justice system by making those accused of piracy not only prove their innocence, but pay to do it.
"They're able to take punitive action … without proof of you actually violating or infringing on copyright," Kamdar said.
The Center for Copyright Information says on its website there is a "rigorous process" to confirm copyright violations, which includes downloading and reviewing files.
Yet Comcast is telling customers on its website, "Copyright owners do not necessarily know for sure that you've violated their rights in order to send the notice. They simply need to believe in good faith that you might have. So, just because you have received a notice doesn't mean you have broken the law or that you are necessarily in any kind of trouble."
If you get flagged, you can appeal through the American Arbitration Association for a fee of $35, which can be waived if you prove financial hardship. The fee will be refunded if the appeal is successful.
I'd like to hear from anyone in the Lehigh Valley area who gets a copyright violation notice from their Internet provider. More information about the system is on my blog at http://blogs.mcall.com/watchdog.

MaxPro-HD Reverse Brake BleederProduct From Phoenix Systems
The Phoenix Systems MAXPRO-HD (Heavy Duty) reverse brake bleeding system allows technicians to efficiently perform one-person brake services, including ABS. It works by removing trapped air in a brake system, which naturally wants to rise. The air pushes up and out the master cylinder to create a firmer pedal. This increases braking power, responsiveness and reduces vehicle stopping time. The tool comes constructed from durable die-cast steel and aluminum and has a powdercoated finish that helps it clean easily. Its smoother action handle helps alleviate hand-stress and the tool comes with a two year manufacturer warranty.
- Product From Vacula Automotive, a division of CEJN Industrial Corporation
Vacula's DX Fluid Extractor Series extracts fluids from vehicle brakes quickly and safely via vacuum bleeding, and generates slight overpressure to empty the unit's fluid canister. The series features universal seals that enable the safe extraction of all kinds of nonflammable fluids, even aggressive-type brake fluids. The equipment is ready to use for brake bleeding, and comes equipped with PVC hose fitted with a universal adapter and a suction probe.
- Product From Engine Clean Solutions Inc.
Engine Clean Solution's hybrid brake bleed machine can service both hybrid vehicles that require higher than normal bleeding pressures and non-hybrid vehicles. This machine provides variable air pressure and suction for both new and used fluids from 1 psi to 100 psi. Just select the right size kit for individual manufacturer specifications. The color-coded adapters come with a leak-proof seal and have broad vehicle coverage: Master Kit; Domestic Kit; European Kit; Ford; Honda; Nissan. Once connected to the brake reservoir using a fitting your technicians can perform a complete fluid exchange in five to ten minutes.
- Product From Phoenix Systems
The Phoenix MaxPro Reverse Brake Bleeder is a revolutionary tool based on the obvious concept that air wants to go up. Traditional brake bleeding tools and techniques fight this principal. This tool helps to quickly remove all the air from the whole braking system. Phoenix reverse bleeding is patented and approved by GM, Raybestos, Bendix and the US Military. Flashlight and mount not included.
V-12 DIY Reverse Brake BleederProduct From Phoenix Systems
The Phoenix Systems V-12 DIY Reverse Brake Bleeder system features patented reverse bleeding technology that removes trapped air to create a firmer pedal, increased braking power and responsiveness, and reduced vehicle stopping time. It can also provide a combination bleed including reverse, pressure, vacuum or bench to easily bleed ABS systems and clutches. Lightweight and portable, the V-12 DIY Reverse Brake Bleeder requires no electricity or air and works well on today's cars and trucks, as well as motorcycles, bicycles and ATVs. Designed to achieve a successful brake bleed in as little as 10 minutes.
Master Cylinder Brake Maintenance System, No. 803UDProduct From Thexton Manufacturing Company, Inc.
Thexton Manufacturing's Master Cylinder Bleeder Upgrade Kit, No. 803UD, is for older Master Cylinder Bleeder Kits. The upgrade kit has the additional machined aluminum SAE and Metric adapters to bring original 803 kits up to 803X specifications. Included in the 803UD kit is a re-designed foam interior and a new plastic case. Used with the new U.S. and Metric Master Cylinder Plug Kit, Part No. 803P, the 803X kit allows the technician to bleed brake cylinders on or off the vehicle and to determine if internal seals are leaking.
Universal Master Cylinder Plug Kit, No. 803PProduct From Thexton Manufacturing Company, Inc.
Thexton's Universal Master Cylinder Plug Kit, No. 803P, allows technicians to plug master cylinder outlet ports to determine if internal seals are leaking. The Kit contains 26 machined aluminum plugs to fit the latest master cylinder designs with additional outlet ports.
- Product From Flo-Dynamics
Flo-Dynamics, a division of Norco Industries, recently introduced its Brakemate Jr. brake system bleeder/flusher units, nos. 98002 and 98003. The unit enables the shop to perform a brake system bleed/flush in a short period of time and requires only one tech. The unit includes an automatic low fluid shutoff that prevents air being introduced to the brake system, and has an adjustable pressure regulator from 0 psi to 49 psi because many hybrids need higher pressures for service. The 98002 comes with a complete set of adapters in an organized case attached to the machine. The 98003 comes without adapters.
Universal Master Cylinder Bleeder Kit No. 803XProduct From Thexton Manufacturing Company, Inc.
Thexton Mfg's improved Universal Master Cylinder Bleeder Kit, No. 803X, allows techs to bleed master cylinders on or off the vehicle.

"We are scared to death about next July," says Linda de Leon, CMP, RCMA board member and meeting planner for next year's Seventh-day Adventist Church General Conference in St. Louis. The conference occurs every five years and typically attracts about 70,000 delegates. The source of her fear: Nearly half of those delegates hail from outside the United States.
"People are coming from more than 200 countries, and we are very concerned about them getting visas and being able to attend," de Leon says. For those needing visas, the Silver Spring, Md. — based church is furnishing application instructions, including a list of the documents American consulates will demand in interviews. But de Leon and her counterparts in other denominations increasingly are also crossing their fingers.
Across the board, religious meeting planners fear that more invasive security measures for visitors to the United States might prevent them from attending meetings.
Visitors from many developing countries already face a daunting and often protracted process for obtaining visas to attend U.S. conferences. In January, the US-VISIT program went into effect; it involves capturing fingerprint images and photographing all entering visa holders. As of October 2004, even visitors from the 27 countries that are part of the visa waiver program — those who can enter the country with a passport — will be forced to undergo the same biometric identification process at immigration points.
New Requirements
Originally, the Patriot Act decreed that visitors from visa waiver countries carry passports with embedded biometric data no later than October 2004. At press time, however, tourism officials and Bush administration staff were lobbying Congress to extend that deadline by two years because only a few countries are expected to have the technology in place by October. Even the United States won't have the capability to read the high-tech passports at all points of entry this year. So an extension on the deadline seems likely.
The potential fallout from making visitors submit to these new requirements is difficult to predict. "I think people will resent the biometrics in the beginning, but if it expedites the process, it will help," says Gary Shapiro, president of the Consumer Electronics Association, which operates the largest trade show in the United States. "A lot also depends on the attitude of the officials."
Tacked onto the arduous road that many face in pursuit of a visa for the United States, however, is the fear of an even more negative effect on travel to the United States, which is already off more than 30 percent compared to pre-9/11 levels.
Visa delays or denials are wreaking havoc with some conferences and trade shows. A new policy implemented in 2003 requires a personal interview with a consular or embassy employee. That demand has not only taxed the overseas State Department employees, it has inconvenienced visa applicants in countries such as China and certain African nations, who may have to spend time and money traveling hundreds of miles for interviews. "Now, they have to take a trip before they take a trip," says Edward Fluhr, manager of legislative affairs for the Travel Industry Association of America.
"There is a lot of stuff going on, a lot of new rules being created and implemented, without enough attention to resources," Fluhr says. "That's why you're getting such long waits for visas." He advises anyone organizing an international meeting in the United States to start early to ensure that attendees are applying for visas in a timely manner.
Branded as Illegal
Religious conferences may be hit especially hard because many of their attendees, as church employees, will appear on paper to lack the financial wherewithal to return home and will be branded as potential illegal immigrants — one of the prime reasons for denying a visa.
The United Methodist Church reported that large numbers of foreign delegates to its April 27 — May 7 general conference in Pittsburgh had not obtained visas because they were unable to schedule interviews in time for the event.
Of 106 delegates from Africa, only a handful had received visas by March. Consular offices also reportedly were limiting the number of visas they would issue. Registered attendees from the Philippines were rejected because the embassy did not believe the General Assembly's policy of paying delegates' expenses.
The rejected applicants were told they lacked sufficient assets to support themselves while in the United States.
Although The International Association for Exhibition Management does not track lost business, a number of its members have blamed visa hassles for attendance drops and no-show exhibitors.
Some, such as George Little Management, have had to revise their contracts and include refund clauses to cover visa-related travel glitches.
In Hawaii, an August life insurance conference that was expected to attract more than 3,000 attendees, many of them from China, was canceled. A smaller meeting was postponed for the same reason.
Many of these meetings face competition in other parts of the world that have fewer entry barriers than the United States.
"All of us support extra security measures, but if we are destroying our ability to compete in the world, we're going to find more elegant ways to screen international visitors," says Stephen Hacker, IAEM's president. His association and others are lobbying for a fast-track visa program that would streamline the application process for foreigners with a history of business-related travel.

Summary of Odd Type Writers Summary of Odd Type Writers Reviews for Odd Type Writers An Excerpt from Odd Type Writers
Every great writer has a unique way of setting a story to paper. And, it turns out, many of these writers used methods that were just as inventive as the works they produced. Odd Type Writers explores the quirky writing habits of renowned authors, including Truman Capote, Ernest Hemingway, and Alexandre Dumas, among many others.
* To meet his deadline for The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Victor Hugo placed himself under strict house arrest, locking up all of his clothes and wearing nothing but a large gray shawl until he finished the book.
* Virginia Woolf used purple ink for love letters, diary entries, and to pen her acclaimed novel Mrs. Dalloway. Also, in her twenties, she preferred to write while standing up.
* Friedrich Schiller kept a drawer full of rotten apples in his study. According to his wife, he couldn't work without that pungent odor wafting into his nose.
* Eudora Welty evaluated her work with scissors handy. If anything needed to be moved, she cut it right out of the page. Then she'd use pins to put the section in its new place.
In Odd Type Writers, you'll find out why James Joyce wrote in crayon, what Edgar Allan Poe's cat was doing on his shoulder, why Vladimir Nabokov had to keep his feet wet, and the other peculiar tools and eccentric methods used to compose some of the greatest works of all time.

Recieved an email about this being the place to be for people starting on the 21st with another challenge. This will be my 1st one, so I'll post updates in here as often as I can. Still wondering about a couple of things. FIrstly, where does someone get their measurements taken? Body fat %, chest, stomach, thigh, and arm measurements too? Also, so I can get some sort of idea of where I'll need to be with my budget, how much does the Myolplex original shake powder cost? Thanks for any help and suggestions.
Good Morning Warriors!
Congratulations for finishing another challenge!
Brick, what an amazing progress you made on this time. Keep that up and that cruise may warrant several bikinis!
Everyone else, you guys rocked it. I know there were moments of weakness but you conquered those.
I am glad we have the thread to share our journey. The past week was certainly one to remember for me. For the first time since last May, I was completely off for 5 days. I mean both workouts and food. Just completely off track. Why? I let stress get to me, I admit. Stress from work, the extremely cold weather, the terrible 5 hour drive to get home on Wednesday...on and on... But, in the end, I realize that I have been overworking myself. I was trying different workout routines and I did it for too long. In the need, not much damage on scale but it can certainly turn into that if I don't realign myself.
So, I have renewed my commitment. I am back on BFL workouts and re-energized. Back to basics. Had an awesome UBWO this morning!! I am not doing a challenge per se but I am back to the plan for maintenance.
I hope those of you who are taking a week, enjoy it and rest. Learn from me and take the time you need to heal!
Have an awesome day everyone!
TinyTimmay, Welcome! Some of the people here will start another challenge soon. Others, like me, are here not for an official challenge but to give the support to this great group of committed Warriors need. And, to receive it.
For the measurements, I do it myself. I use calipers for body fat and a tape measure for all others. Its a fantastic way to see the progress as the scale never tells the whole story.
I am not sure of the cost of the shakes since I never officially entered (I have done 2 challenges this year) and I usually buy my shake powder at Walmart (non-Myoplex). But others may have that answer.
Hope you stick around and you will see that this group is very knowledgeable and supportive! Best of luck on this journey.
I got to admit it, I really enjoyed sleeping in.
2C - I thought about what you said & it confirmed, for me, that I am taking a week off period. I will stick closely to the food, because I like it that way, but no running or lifting for me, specifically since I am going to start training for a half marathon next week, my body will need the break because it will not receive one for a while after we start on 2/21!
TinyTImmay -
Welcome to the group!! Most of us our finishing our 2nd challenge, some in between, & others here for support & to give support. Most of us finished C-1 together & developed a bond of support. I believe that several of us will start again on the 2/21.
As far as Myoplex: First you need to decide if you want the regular of light? It will mainly depend on your goals. Secondly, a 4 pack ranges from 8 - 12$ depending on where you buy them & if you get Lite, original, premix, or powder. I also buy meal replacement bars; I use CLIFF bars, they are mostly organic & a cheaper alternative to the Myoplex bars - but the Myoplex bars are great - it just depends on your budget. I go to GNC monthly & have worked with the manager on getting 75% off of Myoplex shakes because I take all of his "Close to expire" shakes. I typically pay about 3.25$ for a 4 pack of Myoplex original & 3$ for Myoplex light! Plus, if I go the first week, I am a gold card member & get 10% off that!
Body Measurements - I am with 2C. I bought a pair of calipers for ~ 10$ & it came with body measuring tape. I highly recommend them - it is so much cheaper & just as accurate as going to a doctor.
Continue to stop in; many of us have been through alot of the issues that you will face. Also, I highly recommend the EAS specialist - I have called several times & they are great to talk to. Good Luck!
Everyone else - Have a great day.
Hello everyone:
Quick check-in. Congratulations to all your Warriors for finishing another challenge!!!!! WOO HOO!!!
I am entering week 8 of my second challenge, and am finally "getting it" again.
I used my ifit on my treadmill for a jillian michals workout today, and I couldn't even do it all. I am going to have to go to my settings and adjust the intensity. She was having me run at inclines @7-9, and speeds 6-8. I couldn't keep up with that; I will definately have to work up to it.
Tiny: Welcome. You are certainly welcome to stay here with us, since we are the best thread on the boards (well coffee crew is pretty good too..ha). But, as 2C mentioned, we are all at different places with our challenges; we just have stayed together since we completed our C1 together. So, many of us are not doing the official BFL protocol, since we are not entering the challenge. Do you belong to a gym? If so, I am sure they would be able to do your body fat & measurements for you. You can do them yourself with a tape measure and pair of calipers. There are other body fat methods out there such as bodpod, DXA, underwater testing, but they tend to get pricey. You just need a baseline to ensure it is going down. You don't have to use the Myoplex unless you plan to enter the challenge, and then you only have to use one item one time. Myoplex is a great product, but there are many in the market you can choose from. Shop around and find what fits your budget.
2C: I am glad you took a break from your workouts; your body was probably screaming for that. And, now I am sure you are renewed and ready to go!
Brick: Waiting on those pics! I bet you look unbelieveable!
Everyone else, have a fantatstic day!!
"The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday!"
Wow, thanks everyone for the tips and encouragement. I know this will be the place to be when I'm going through my challenge. When talking about Myoplex, and how my goals may affect if I should get Original or Light, I think I'll probably want the light. One of my goals is weight loss so I assume I should probably go with the light, correct? Also, Staats, when you mention a 4 pack for $8-$12, is that 4 servings? I am going to enter the contest this first time around, so I'll need to purchase something for sure, and liked the idea of drinking shakes in between meals. As far as being part of a gym, the answer is yes. I've been a member of Planet Fitness for a few months. I'll try and get in there sometime this week to have my measurements done. I've also noticed there are online versions of body fat % calculators so I wonder if that'll work. Starting a week from today. Excited, nervous, and everything else that comes with the idea of starting something new. Again, thanks.
Tiny: Don't do any online measurements; they are far from accurate. You need to be tested with someone who can accurately "touch" you to get accurage measurements. Also, try to use the same person to do your body fat & measurements each time; everyone measures a little differently.

Happy Monday & Valentines Day!!
I jumped on the elliptical this AM for a leisurely 3 MPH walk for about 30 minutes. I'm still trying to eat clean during this week of AR.
Today is my 35th wedding anniversary ….. I've been married longer that many of you have been alive!! ;-)
BDMom – well, I finally made a decision & ordered the NordicTrack C 900 TM yesterday. It is supposed to arrive next Saturday. Somewhere in the cobwebs of my mind I am recalling something you said about having to get 20 mile on yours before using the incline feature …. Am I remembering right?
Tiny: Welcome to our group of Warriors!! As BdMom said, there are folks at different levels. Everybody here is very helpful & willing to share everything they have learned along the way. I encourage you to take advantage of that & ask any question that comes to mind. If you don't want to get measured at the gym, there is a tape measure & caliper mentioned near the end of the BFL book. Both of these are designed for a person the take their own measurements. The tape & calipers are relatively inexpensive & they are very easy to use. By doing your own measurements, they may not necessarily be 100% accurate, but they will be consistent because you will always be doing them. You will find some hints & tips on measurements on the BFL Forum website by clicking the "Library" tab at the top of the screen, then select "Tools" on the next screen.
Staats – I enjoyed a little extra snooze time also!!
2conquer – your post made me think of a quote I ran across some time ago "reality is the leading cause of stress!! You are right about taking time to heal injuries, etc. I learned the hard way with my knee injury from running on a treadmill that did not have much cushioning in the deck.
Parson – I'm doing cardio on the elliptical this week. I'm a creature of habit & I know if I don't stay on a schedule I'll be a grumbly old man next week when it is time to hit it hard again on the 21st.
Cuervo – I just had a mental image of you as the "Thinker". Remember the statue of this very muscular guy sitting on a rock, leaned over slightly with one hand under his chin as he appears to be pondering the answers to life & the mysteries of the universe. Many of your posts are very insightful & thought provoking. I really look forward to reading them.
I hope all of you "Warriors" have a great week of AR …. honk honk!!
Tiny, welcome! Yes, this is a very encouraging, wise group. Lots of insight and experience in here!
2C & BDMom, thanks for the nice thoughts! I didn't take any pics yet, but they're coming! It's hard to get someone to take them... I may just wear a swimsuit under my clothes some day and go try some stuff on at Old Navy - I'll take some mirror shots while I'm in there! Ha ha!
Gramp & Gram! Happy Anniversary! How sweet that you were married on Valentine's Day!
I broke the news about the cruise to my hubby over dinner Saturday and he's thrilled! Then we told our little girl and she said, "OMG, I think I'm gonna cry!"
There's a girl out there warming up with your max.
Good morning gang,
I hope everyone had a great valentines day. Mine was excellent. We actually stayed home and spent some wonderful time as a family. We had dinner then the twins were in a great mood and we all just had a great time playing and dancing around like dummies. It was GREAT.
Tiny - Welcome aboard. This group will bring out the best in you if you stay active and give it all you have.
2C- I am sure you needed the break after so long. Your body will thank you for it. I seem to come back stronger and more determined after a break. I think it will catapult you to the next level. You rock.
Staats - Take that time off to refuel and recover for the next round. You wont regret it. I have always wanted to try a half marathon, but never had enough drive to run that far. I have said I would train for one, but talked myself out of it. My goal now will be for a 5k, then I can build on that. What would be a good time to shoot for. I was thinking 24 minutes or so would be a good goal? I know I am nowhere near that now. What do you think?
BDMom - Give these last 4 weeks all you can. I really appreciate your daily contributions and positive attitude. It helps keep us all on track.
GP - Congrats on ordering the treadmill, and happy anniversary. I am glad to see you are keeping active during this week of AR. I will go to the track this afternoon for some walking/jogging to stay active. I have the urge to lift weights, but will refrain for a few more days just to heal up so I can hang with you all in the next challenge. I think sometime my quest for knowledge and figuring things out might be a hinderance to my progress. The answers are there, and are not nearly as complicated as I sometimes make them. Lets hang together and push one another as we have. I admire you all.
Brick - Congrats on the weight loss and get ready for that cruise. You, like everyone else here have been a blessing to me.
OK, I have a question for you all. I have been considering having a BODPOD scan done this week. I am not sure if it is worth it. I have a scale that give me bodyfat %. Whether it is accurate or not is debatable. But it does give me a number and if I see it going down, i should be ok. I wonder what I will get from the bodpod scan. Should I just trust in how I feel and look in the mirror and not complicate things with this scan?
Have a great day everyone.
Have to leave here in 15 minutes, so not much time, but wanted to make a couple real quick comments:
Gramps: Happy Anniversary! Congratulations! That is something to truly be proud of. Yes, you are correct, you will have to get in 20 hours zero to low incline before you can use that feature. It goes fast, just up your speeds and go for it. You will love it. I tried one of the ifit workouts yesterday, and it about killed me.
Cuervo: All those fancy schmantzy tests aren't for everyone, but they are for me. I like a true analysis of where I am at; that is why I did the underwater testing, even tho I am claustrophobic, and hate my face underwater. I say go for it. You don't have to do it all the time, but will be a great guideline. You may find you are in far better shape than you think you are. I am actually going in for a DXA body fat scan this Friday. It is supposed to be the most accurate of all. It tells you exactly where your fat sits, and breaks it all out for you. I am anxious to see how that compares to the underwater that I had done in Nov. The test would be $50, but since it is covered on my FSA account, I am going to go for it. Let me know how you do if you decide to do it. I will let you know as well. I hope it doesn't discourage me.....
Have a great day, Warriors!
Good morning Warriors for Life!
I didn't quite get to enjoy extra sleep last night, the kiddos and wife all have fevers! Something about this winter, it has really beat up on my family's health!
TinyTimmay - The 8 -12$ range is for 4 servings (4 shakes). The shakes are meal replacments, so it helps in planning 6 meals per day. I typically have a bar for breakfast, a shake around 9:30, & normally I will have a whey protein shake with a fruit in the afternoon. There are lots of options out there!
Additionally, I like the calipers that GPHiker mentioned. I thnk the most important thing is to find something that you can do weekly that will show your progress to keep you motivated. What I have seen work for me and this group is periodically weighing, photos, and measurements. They combined really tell a good story! BDMom has quite a bit of experience with this area, so I would check her post.
Cuervo - I think 24 minutes is slightly agressive for your first 5k. I would shoot for say 26 minutes for your first & have a goal to run a 5k by the EOY under 24 minutes.
As far as the body fat%; it really depends on how accurate you want to be. I probably would try the calipers first, but, if you really want to know, go for it. I think BDMom has quite a bit of experience with it, so I would see what she says as well.
GPHiker - Congrats on the anniversary, that it awesome!
BDMom - Keep rocking sister. I agree with Cuervo - you are an inspiration & a great accountability partner.
Everyone else - I hope all is going well.
Staats- I ran years ago and stayed under 24 minutes in my times. I figured I should have that as a goal to reach. Just finishing one would be an accomplishment for me now. I hope in 12 weeks I can get down to a respectable time anyway. Just another goal to reach right?
Regarding the bodyfat, I have a scale that reads 24 to 25%, but i also have calipers that I have taken many times and get 17% on them. I realize that calipers reach only subcutaneous fat under the skin, and the scales also include visceral fat around your organs and such. I don't really know what another number would do beyond confuse me more. Maybe I should stick with what I an doing and trust in the way i look and feel.
Have a great day everyone, Monday will start another chapter...lets plan for the best results yet.

I had a seedling survive 33 degrees F in the ground, unprotected, in Sarasota last winter. It didn't see any frost. Seems tough.
Posted 21 December 2013 - 08:33 AM
Here's a report on the Dec 2013 freeze. Copernicia bailayana planted out in the open about 5 feet away from my weather station in the middle of the frost pit part of my garden, so the temp readings six feet above that plant are accurate, due to strong inversion was probably much colder on the ground.
This specimen was purchased from JD Andersen as a small 5 gallon plant. Has some silver on it, looks like it will turn into a silver bailayana. Threw a cardboard box over it, that's all, just to keep the frost off the plant since it's so small. Not a trace of a damage, not even a hint. Spear is solid and is currently pushing out further after a week of 70-85F temperatures. Nearby citrus suffered some damage low to the ground suggesting it was quite cold down there.
Dec 4/5: 57.4F high, below 32F at 11.17PM steady decline to 26.6F at 7:30AM with a dewpoint of 16F. above freezing 8:47AM
Dec 5/6: 57.4F high, below 32F at 11:30PM steady decline to 29.8F from 4:30AM to 7AM, above freezing 8:30AM
Dec 6/7: 55.9F high, 50F overnight with 1 inch of rain
Dec 7/8: 53.1F high, below 32F at 11:30PM, steady decline to 28.6F, above freezing by 8:45AM
Dec 8/9: 55.9F high, below 32F at 11:30PM, steady decline to 28.6F, above freezing by 5:30AM
Dec 9/10, 60.8F high, below 32F at 6:30AM, down to 30.9F above freezing by 8:00AM

Parents of Randolph County students should expect a phone call from the county school system's "parent link" phone program, sharing a message clarifying rumors swirling in the community.
"Rumors are being passed around on Facebook and other Internet sites stating students at Elkins High School and Jennings Randolph Elementary are being sent home or asked to change clothes because the shirts are of a religious nature, or shirts with American flags or religious jewelry," Terry George, Randolph County superintendent of schools, said Tuesday. "This is just not true."
George said the gossip has sprung up in the last 24 hours, and he and county board of education members fielded many phone calls Tuesday from concerned parents.
"I am not sure how this Internet hoax got started, but it is untrue," George said. "The only students asked to change any clothes recently have been those that go against our dress code." George said some students have been asked to change from "shorts that were too short."
George said the phone calls placed to families through the "parent link" system will explain that the rumors about shirts and jewelry are incorrect.

The Garden Chronicles - Kermis Time
The Belgian American Walloons who settled around southern Door, northern Brown and Kewaunee Counties in the 1850s, brought with them a rite of Fall – the kirmess - or harvest festival.
Derived from 'church mass' and known colloquially as kermis this traditional outdoor fair or festival featured church, food, dance, music and games.

Home Economics
No one likes it and no one wants to hear about it. Sadly, it's becoming a lot more prevalent in the lives of people in our neighborhood. Four houses (that I know of) within about a mile of my house have been foreclosed on just in the last several months.
Families who have been living in their homes for decades are being forced out because of financial situations that are sometimes beyond their own control. This includes things such as losing a job or health issues, both of which happened to people who live within two blocks of me.
It's weird that one day my neighbors were walking their poodle past my house and overnight they were gone. There is a piece of paper in the window saying "NO TRESPASSING: this property is corporate owned." What is even sadder to me is that there seems to be nothing I can do about it because the problem seems much bigger than any one person can fix.
Eagle Scouts to the rescue?
Daughter Liz and I spent some pleasant Saturday hours at Tosa Fest, munching sweet potato fries and sipping Chimay white ale on the edge of the Menomonee River. We met some old friends, relished Paul Cebar's music, and picked up Save the Eschweilers yard signs.
If walking around Wauwatosa's village doesn't remind you of the delight and importance of preserving history and the places it happened, not much will.
Some fine work has been done on some of the old buildings there. Interesting businesses are growing roots, while new ones are sprouting because the area's attractive and there's foot traffic, the key to prosperity in villages.
But our hearts sank we came upon Root Commons. Even the road signs are askew. Mostly hard dirt now, the ground is oddly pitched, with a wooden picnic table dropped here, a random Port-a-Potty sitting alone there at a rakish or alarming angle, depending on how much history you have with outhouse tippage. I suspect the one cheerful note, a popcorn wagon, was less than delighted to find itself parked next door to a potty.
The commons used to be a real gathering place, with a central structure, grass, and seasonal plantings. Long before that it was the village green, just down the road from the first public school built in the city. Whatever it is now seems to have just happened, a combination of small attempts and large neglect. It's an eyesore. An embarrassment to a city trying to stay upscale.
That's what happens when you don't take care of things.
In 2007 the Community Development Committee passed Resolution R-07-94 for a proposed improvement project plan, subject to approval by many folks. Was tearing down what was there the extent of the plan? I doubt it.
Parks Board minutes from August 21st of this year note that they currently are waiting for central scouts office funding for an Eagle Scout project to fix the park, and that a mason will be around to supervise the work. No plan or description is available. Apparently this will happen sometime after the scouts finish another project, replacing a fence on 68th Street. Who knew we were outsourcing construction projects to children in search of community service and merit badges?
My enthusiasm for the nobility of volunteers is a little tempered by the belief that this pocket park needs to be a village centerpiece, not an after-thought. It's a big job. I hope the scouts are up to it.
Of course, it will take more than Eagle Scouts to save the Eschweilers. Maybe a couple former Eagle Scout, current millionaires. Though it really seems we should be able to steer our own civic destiny, make a smart investment in oursleves and our future, without having to depend entirely on good deeds and individual charity.
How many more festival seasons will come and go before something good happens to Root Commons?
The Best Roasted Pumpkin Seeds In The World
Well at least possibly the world's best roasted pumpkin seeds.
Halloween is just around the corner and with the carving of the gourds all of those seeds can be put to good use. This should be a family-wide kitchen project.
A Tourist in Tosa - On the Road Again
Like many who have reached middle age, I've found there are some good things: I'm slightly more wise, a tiny bit more patient and I have a little more time. One of the negatives, however, is that I seem to have left my metabolism behind somewhere back in my early 20s. I found out the hard way that "Once on the lips, forever on the hips" is more than just a motivational phrase. It's painfully true.
Friday Morning Music
It's the start of the weekend people.
Put your hands together for this blast from the past.
"4 sale - playground"
Right next to the "Kids eat free" sign in the old Lutheran (now Baptist) church yard: "4 sale - playgound."
The for-sale playground structure fills the entire pocket between the church and its former school on North Avenue. I recognize the church's original name, carved in stone, from my father's baptismal certificate, over one hundred years old now and written in German. I doubt they fed kids there in my dad's day, though they were not strangers to hunger. But those old Germans believed in exercise to build the sound body needed to house a sound mind.
Children don't live by food alone, regardless of who provides the food. To grow strong and whole, they need to climb and jump and play. Move through space, bend and stretch, reach for the sky.
Play is how children learn. Educational research shows that kids learn best when their entire bodies are engaged, at least up until age 9. And yet Wauwatosa's Jefferson School recently eliminated recess for 6 and 7 year olds, saying there's no time for it.
Strange: workplace research shows that workers are better able to think and concentrate when they take occasional breaks to get up and move around. Why we'd think it would work differently for wiggly children is a mystery.
Abandoning recess may be a sign a school is in trouble. The poorer the school community (in all the senses of the word), the less likely it is to have recess. Chicago schools haven't had recess for decades. And nobody is saying recesslessness has improved education there. While Tosa is tossing its recess aside, Chicago schools are reinstating it. Kids who have it behave better and learn better. There's evidence for that. Behind the cut recess notion is only wishful thinking.
Maybe our schools won't sell off the equipment to raise money to feed kids, but it's not much of a stretch to imagine the equipment, often built by parent volunteers, sold or dismantled to remove legal liability as kids spend more time inside, in front of electronic screens.
A whole generation of kids has grown up not knowing how to play, so the Chicago schools have hired coaches to teach them what do do with recess.
Principals and administrators hate recess. It creates scheduling and staffing problems. Every year there's the kid-with-the-broken-arm potential litigation headache. It's inconvenient. But merely doubling down, working harder and longer at the same thing you're already not doing very well, seldom improves outcomes.
Random Musings and Idle Chit Chat
What I'd find interesting is if Mr. Gas Pains, who I believe to be an old school Republican without a party these days, is planning to vote for Romney and support the party as it has evolved ?
Or, will he stay at home....or will he actually cast a vote for the Democrat !
I'd imagine you'll dodge this question and like a seasoned politician answer it without answering it....but, sometimes people can be surprising.
If you actually answer it I think that would be very telling as to where this election will go.
I'm still on the record as saying Obama will win, and he will even get the quiet support of quite a few people who would never tell you they voted for him.
Business owners are doing well these days, look at the stock market and business profit levels. Big business is making a killing. Hardly a big reason for a change.

Who should we care about?
Presidential candidate Mitt Romney's statement that he didn't need to concern himself with 47% of the population was a shocker.
Of course, what he meant was that he didn't need to bother with campaigning to them (or is that us?): he wasn't likely to win those votes anyway.
10 Days in Tosa
I don't recall hearing about the first annual Ten Days in Tosa Dining Experience, so when I read about it this year, I made sure to get out and try it.
The husband and I are big fans of Milwaukee's Downtown Dining week, and have discovered some good restaurants through that promotion (we always make sure to try new places). This was also the case with 10 Days in Tosa.

How about another walk down memory lane.
The Moody Blues - Gypsy...
Grass Be Gone: Why I removed my lawn in favor of a perennial landscape
When Walt Whitman wrote lovingly of grass in his poetry collection "Leaves of Grass," he must have been referring to the showy, ornamental varieties, or, more likely, wild grasses swaying in summer fields. Surely he couldn't have been thinking of the kind of overly-watered-yet-still-thirsty, scalped, grub infested squares of lawn that form a patchwork quilt across suburbia.
The Garden Chronicles - Is Organic Superior?
The garden is done. Finis. ¡se acabó!
Plants on the Cheap
By September of each year, gardening often falls off my radar. I'm a college instructor, and once the new academic year kicks into gear my gardening passion simmers, usually until I begin starting seeds indoors in late winter.

Crank-up the volume on your office workstation for Modern English and I Melt With You...
As I sit in my new office here at the First Congregational Church of Wauwatosa it is hard to believe that it has been more than 30 years since I have made the Milwaukee area my home. It is definitely great to be back. I had pretty much figured that I would stay in Southern California for the rest of my life. I had been a minister of the same church for 17 years, raised my two children there, and had grown to love the wonderful climate.
During the past two years, as the opportunity to serve First Congregational developed, I began to see an outstanding congregation truly making a difference. The facility here at the church was top notch and so was the staff, but I had grown comfortable where I was, I owned a home in Los Angeles and I wasn't sure I wanted to leave all that. It was when I met the people that I began to feel a strong call to this church in Wisconsin. Meeting them, talking and interviewing with them, I was reminded of the Midwest character and the wonderful people who live here.
The PB&PB Sandwich
As I tapped-out this post my initial idea was to regale you with a short historical time-line detailing the evolution of the sandwich. That would be redundant because a very good job of it can already be found on the web.
So let's cut to the chase. Before you recoil in horror - I am not going to describe how to assemble a sliced, cold boiled beef tongue with spicy German mustard on rye. Instead I am going to detail the assembly of a sandwich that even the most ardent of vegans can get their hands around.

Arrest made in smash-and-grabFebruary 06,2013Rutland Police say they have made an arrest in one of the smash-and-grab type thefts that have occurred recently in the city's downtown.
Police said Tuesday they charged Shawn M. Ritchie, 39, of Rutland, with unlawful mischief and petty larceny for allegedly breaking into a car parked outside the American Legion on Washington Street.
Ritchie was cited to appear in Rutland criminal court next week, police said.
Police say they have received a handful of complaints during the last week from people whose locked vehicles have been broken into downtown. Purses and electronics devices have been reported stolen.
Ritchie is charged with only one of those thefts but police say the other cases remain under investigation.MORE IN This Just InBERLIN – Registration is now open for the 30th annual Vermont Chamber Business and Industry... Full StoryBurlington police Full StoryTwo men charged Full Story

I have been working at unitedprint.com full-time for more than a year
Pros – As online marketing assistant, I've seen this aspects as a advantage of work for unitedprint.com: the time management relies only on me, I have autonomy to do my job, the multicultural exchange inside the company is very high, there is mutual trust between employee and employer, people from the headquarters are always willing to help which is awesome.
Cons – As I'm working form home, sometimes there is the feeling of lack of interaction with people. Therefore, work is under risk of becoming monotone. Another consideration to make is the communication quality between boss/employee, as we are facing language boundaries, and also we are missing some of the communication elements such as gestures, and so on, the communication channels should be carefully planned as well as the way to say things, otherwise work, duties, bosses' observations, etc., could become very demotivating for the employee.
Advice to Senior Management – No further recommendations to the management.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
